Charanam

 

Anuragha gana vanu athi Madura dalithaye

Gana raaga dali nimma athi shresta veena yali

Ana varada navaraaga nudisuthali jagava

Ananda goli samma parabrahma raaniye

(Brahma ananda goli samma parabrahma raaniye)                         (Omkara)

 

You are ruling me with a song of blessing which is very sweet,

Using the heavy Raga and using your very great Veena,

Always play the words of the new Ragas,

And make this world happy, Oh mother, the queen of Brahma.

 

Vara veda shastra vanu suraraaga dali nimma

Vara veene yali nudisi paaduthali bandu

Paradevi nee yenna nālige yali ninthu

Varavithu salahamma sree Krishna dasara                                       (Omkara)

 

Please sing the divine Vedas using the divine Ragas

In your blessed Veena and come singing;

Divine Goddess, stand in my tongue,

And give boons and advice to Krishna dasa.
